Etymology nb non Spanía Spain, from nb la Spānia Spain, a Late Latin and Medieval Latin apheretic form of nb la Hispānia Hispania; the Iberian Peninsula. The origin of the Latin name is uncertain. It is traditionally derived from nb phn -, from a reconstructed Phoenician or Punic name *ʾī šapān, literally “island of the hyrax”. According to this interpretation, Phoenician speakers mistook the numerous rabbits of the Iberian Peninsula for hyraxes, and the name was understood as “island” or “land of rabbits”. This explanation was already known in antiquity and may be reflected in Roman coins depicting Hispania with rabbits.
